Support my writing.

I am looking into alternative business models in the hopes of making my writing a sustainable source of income. I hope to be able to create an independent infrastructure from which to market and sell my work in a way that is free from middlemen who take large chunks of any money. As such, the support of all of you would mean a lot to me.

One direction that I am looking at the moment is to implement a system whereby people pay £5 and receive a year’s worth of serialised shortstories. This will be one episode each month that range between 10k-15k words. 120,000 words minimum for £5 is incredible value for money.

The stories would be sent straight to you by email every month until the year has passed. If you sign up after a few months have already passed, all episodes from previous months will be sent to you.

Does this idea interest anybody? It would really help you out and, if you are a reader, it will give you a good amount of quality content in a fully developed fantasy world. If enough people show interest then I will post more details for you all since at the moment I am just seeing what folk think. Please let me know what you think and if you know any fantasy readers, point them in this direction for me.
